Chapter 274 Deathly Aura Comes from the North
"As the old saying goes, 'Eliminate evil completely'... You are evil yourself, so don't feel guilty. No one will pity you, you wretched undead... At worst, we can let the escapees go. Even if this place is exposed, it doesn't matter. We can take over the Alterac Ruins and leave a force for emergencies."
"Go north...that's real hell..."
"You'll understand the source of Arthas's nightmares when you get to Stratholme, the city of the dead."
"You and I are just ordinary people with limited abilities. We can only help our friends and refrain from intentionally doing evil, which is already a sign of high moral character. Lorraine, you mustn't be a saint... The Forgotten Ones have no choice but to become stronger... Only then can you become the hand that influences the fate of others..."
After a moment of silence, the teacher spoke at length, seemingly to comfort him, yet also to deceive himself. Lorraine had no interest in listening to this nonsense.
Following the teacher's advice, we directly ordered Deathsworn to seize the Alterac capital city occupied by the ogres and obtain the Crown of Will. Only then did we have time to listen to the teacher recount the tragedy of the traitorous kingdom of Alterac.
......
Looking at the slaughterhouse and gallows outside the city walls, covered in snow, with traces faintly visible in the snow, one could see that the place was actually littered with corpses, and the wails of vengeful spirits echoed throughout the slaughter valley.
The advantages of the Mirror of Truth are obvious, but its disadvantages are also clear.
Ghosts are always seen, and wails are always heard. From top to bottom, the snow-capped Alterac Mountains cannot conceal the evidence of the massacre.
Whoever the murderer is—a foreign robber, an internal traitor, or a visitor from outer space...
Countless lives lost in history's wars go unremembered. The choices and fates of ordinary people prove one truth: only the mercy of the strong has value. The pity of the weak and slave owners is false and laughable...
Only by striving can one gain rights and status.
Kindness is a luxurious and painful choice...
The Virgin Mary was originally a symbol of mercy, but now she is associated with foolishness and hypocrisy!
Lorraine made a tough decision, ordering Deathsworn to remain atop Mount Alteran to rule the ogres and yetis, hiding the undead in caves and the castle. Disguised as the original ruins, the ogre Magthor remained his leader, now the foreman of the laborers, leading the remaining ogres in constructing the fortress...
Prepare for the great war to come!
Lorraine ordered that no one approach the summit of Alterac Mountain. Roadblocks were set up on the summit, and ogres patrolled back and forth to prevent others from passing by. When they encountered a powerful opponent they could not withstand, they retreated to the mountain cave.
Do not leave any trace of the undead golem.
Magtherid, the ogre leader, was all smiles, completely unconcerned that many of his own kind had just died.
To continue his tyrannical ways and become the so-called Ogre Mountain King, the Ogre Magthor almost knelt down and licked Lorraine's black toes... Lorraine was startled and awkwardly withdrew his toes. He had trekked through mountains and rivers, and his shoes were worn out in several pairs.
The undead's sharp toes make their shoes break too easily.
Even the thick, warm sheepskin boots lined with fleece, sourced from a syndicate, wore out quickly, revealing sharp, blackened toes...
To be precise, it's claws...
Realizing he was an undead being through and through, his heart had long since lost its vitality and was practically useless...
Lorraine buried his already stiff face in the snow... feeling the coldness... the mournful cry from the mountains. He suddenly felt the voices of countless wronged souls; too many corpses were buried in this Alterac Mountains.
As Lorraine entered the Land of the Dead by the lake, she sensed an astonishing number of vengeful spirits on the mountaintop...
Dark clouds gathered at the summit, and yin energy formed solid vortexes that continuously rose upwards. Above, there was a huge soul passage, through which some frail spirits would fly upwards, drifting away to who knows where.
The Crown of Will also senses...
It turned out that meeting my godfather at the foot of the mountain was not a coincidence, but a divine guidance.
There is a soul passage on the mountaintop that ordinary people cannot see... Lorraine saw countless spirits drifting towards this place from the north. The yin energy here is particularly heavy, which is just right to nourish his newly resurrected army of the dead.
On the other side of the mountain, Lorraine saw even more ghosts; the teacher said that was the so-called Northern Dead Zone.
From Uther's Holy Tomb all the way to Andorhal, County Caer Darrow, and Hearthglen...across a river, the Church of the Holy Light in the Eastern Plaguelands is the only place where light shines.
There, a tornado of yin energy is drawing away the souls of the earth, and at its center floats a suspended fortress. Not far away lies the undead city of Stratholme.
After observing, Lorraine made her next plan.
The last thing to do before descending the mountain was to set up spies on the road leading to Icewind Ridge. The bodies of those bandits were not wasted; their remains continued to wander the mountain path... As for their souls, Lorraine originally intended to release the souls of these innocents.
To his surprise, after trying it, he discovered that the wronged souls in the prison of his rune right eye could only enter, but not leave!
To extract it, one must use a vengeful spirit to resurrect a corpse; only then can the desired vengeful spirit be extracted... Lorraine felt that she was not the master of the rune's right eye; her right eye seemed to be merely a vessel for the soul prison.
This made his heart skip a beat... he felt this was a potential problem.
However, those people are already dead. Death ends everything; repentance or atonement are meaningless. Any further attempts to make amends are merely self-comfort and deception. Some things can only be addressed through advance preparation and striving for a better outcome.
Otherwise, there is almost no chance of making amends and starting over.
Most other forms of remedy are just bullshit and self-deception.
The teacher scolded Lorraine for over two hours... Lorraine's ears were practically calloused from hearing it so much...
However, after being scolded, he suddenly felt much better... After arranging things on the mountain, Lorraine removed her disguise, carried Eileen on her back, and headed towards the town of Tarren Mill...
Going up the mountain was difficult, but coming down seemed to be quite pleasant.
As the ice gradually recedes, warmth and greenery increase. Compared to the cold and gloomy environment of Tirisfal Glades, Hillsbrad Foothills is truly a land suitable for agricultural production, and glimpses of its former prosperity can still be seen.
Historically, this land originally belonged to the trolls.
That's right, forest trolls have always lived in the north...
The troll city of Zul'Aman is currently closed off, but it is a major threat to Silvermoon City. The Amani trolls are the only remaining native resistance force, as most other troll tribes have been scattered. The human and elf territories were taken from the trolls.
Unlike ogres, trolls have their own tribes and beliefs, while ogres often seem like single-celled organisms...
Lorraine had originally intended to choose an ogre to accompany him and have him carry Eileen, but when he saw the ogre drooling over Eileen, he was so frightened that he quickly snatched Eileen away and carried her on his back himself, leaving the ugly ogre to repair the city walls... in preparation for a possible future war.
There was some fog on the snow-capped mountain, so the scenery below was not clearly visible, but you could always see a vague outline.
Because of its proximity to the North Sea, the coastal area enjoys a mild climate, and the terrain creates significant differences between the two regions, resulting in a strange landscape with distinct seasons. The most amazing thing about Azeroth is that a single region can have multiple terrains, climates, and creatures.
In addition to common wolves and griffins, there are also traces of velociraptors in the Arathi Highlands.
The Creator arbitrarily transforms this land, and the Titans have the full right to edit life. Azeroth is a magical world where the boundaries of laws are blurred... The teacher wanted to explain and show off to Lorraine, but he only had a superficial understanding... Unable to handle Lorraine's probing questions, he could only shut up.
The master and disciple had nothing to talk about along the way, and without any servants to accompany them, it became a journey for one person again.
Oh no, there was also a soft woman on his back, barely alive...
Lorraine couldn't help but run. He felt that Eileen might not make it... He wasn't sure if a half-human, half-corpse, Forsaken who hadn't fully transformed could be resurrected after death, or if she would simply become a cold corpse.
Tarren Mill isn't far; the teacher said it's just at the foot of the mountain... He felt it wasn't far either. If he moved a little west, the Frostwolf Great Den was there. If Eileen couldn't hold on, it would be best to go there.
The Frostwolf Clan includes orcs who practice shamanism. Shamans are not only proficient in nature magic but can also use the power of nature to heal injuries. Warchief Thrall learned shamanism here from the old shaman Drek'Thar, becoming an Enhancement Shaman, Elemental Shaman, and Plate Armor Summoner...
Going to the Frostwolf Cave first is a better choice.
......
Perhaps because she was running too fast and the ride was too bumpy, Eileen's wounds were in pain, and she actually woke up.
"Lorraine... my lord. Put me down..."
Lorraine rushed downhill, completely ignoring the woman's words behind her. It wasn't until Eileen's fingers touched Lorraine's withered skin that Lorraine turned around and noticed that Eileen was awake.
